convention was called to order at the ap'
pointed hour by temporary chairman

to three minutes.

terrupted by wild demOnstra.
tions The resoiution congratulate
Foraker on his flag act and the Sherman
endorsement resolution taxed the lungs
of the convention to heir full extent.
While the Sherman resolution was rail-
rOaded through without opposition In
the convention 1t was visibly plain that
1t was bitter pill to large proportion
Of the delegates. The Committee on
Permanent Organization reported John
SHERMAN FOR PERMANENT CHAIRMAN
of the convention and Walter Thomas,

from Delaware. secretary, with hVe as
sstsnts. When Sherman was escorted
to the platform he was greeted by a very
tame demonstration. On taking the
chair Sherman made ten minute
speech in which he referred to his en-
dorsement, saying that he would rather
have the endorsement than be President,
in which choice he will probably be aC-
cOmmOdated. DR.. W. T. Graydon, of CIU-
Cinnati. a very eloquent talker, placed
Foraker In nomination and on motion
of Mr. Asa s. Bushnell, the wealthy man
ufacturer of Springfield, Ohio. the nom
ination was confirmed by acclamatiOn.
